I’ve been pretty disappointed by almost every Bafang ebike display I’ve ever used. My number 1 complaint is that most ebike displays are way to big, and make your bike look too much like an ebike with any casual glance. With a backpack battery and a little discretion, I’ve found that most people don’t even…

I broke the frame while thrashing hard on my Aluminum framed Phat Phuk last year so I decided it was probably time to switch to steel. There are several steel framed fatbikes that will fit the 5.05″ SnowShoe 2XL, but the one that I could find the cheapest was a Bikes Direct Lurch NOT currently…

Everyone has been asking me “Karl, where have you been, we miss you”. My wife and I have untaken some huge projects which has involved moving massive amounts of dirt, woodchips, and seaweed on a nearly daily basis to fertilize our 500 fruit trees.

This is officially my 16th documented ebike build on this site. Sweet sixteen turned out to exceed my every expectation for performance and usability. I decided to throw my beloved new Ultra Max 2500W peak ludicrous drive unit on a crappy old Bikes Direct Sniper full suspension fat bike that I couldn’t give a rat’s ass about.…

One of my pet peeves about the new torque-sensing 1000W Ultra Max drive unit is that there just aren’t that many frames for it available in the states. The original Bafang Max drive which only sported 350W of power has a totally different mounting bracket than the Ultra Max which means you just can’t fit a…
